Enrolment Tips
from Lawkipedia 2021
The enrolment process is the Law School’s most stressful/confusing time, and so it makes sense to provide some guidelines to how to get into the class you want, and the lecturer you desire. • Plan your timetable ahead of time • Check your course program outline to know exactly which courses you need to enrol in via the online UNSW handbook (if there is any doubt about this, contact students services and inquire about your specific degree plan requirements).
Check out the website ‘crossangles.app’, the unofficial timetable creator for UNSW courses.
• Update your personal details on myUNSW before the enrolment appointment • Log into myUNSW a day or two before the scheduled timetable appointment and update your personal details by clicking ‘My Student Profile’, then ‘Update Your Enrolment’. You will then need to confirm your home address, emergency details etc. It is important to do this before your enrolment appointment because you don’t want to be stuck updating your details when everyone else is snapping up classes. • Log into myUNSW at the exact time of your enrolment appointment • Even one minute too early will be enough to bar you from enrolling until you re-login. Avoid this at all costs as it is highly likely that whilst you are re-logging in, your fellow classmates are filling up the spots in the class that you wanted. • Enrol in your law subjects first
• Generally, enrolment spaces for other subjects are much less competitive, so prioritise our law subjects. • Other subjects are also likely to have students with a later appointment time/date than law students, so their availability is likely to be a lot larger than your relatively ‘small’ law classes in comparison. • If you miss out on the spot you wanted and the class is full, check class utilisation throughout the break • It is likely that a spot will free up as it is not uncommon for students to change classes. You just need to be ready to grab that spot when the time comes! 55
